The Role of the Α7 and Α4β2 Nicotinic Receptors in Nicotine Sensitization and Neural Plasticity of Adolescent Rats Neonatally Treated with Quinpirole: Effects on Mtor and Nicotinic Receptor Density

Aims: (1) Analyze the roles of α7 and α4β2 nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) in nicotine sensitization in adolescent male and female rats neonatally treated with quinpirole as well as their effects on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) 1 h and 24 h post drug...
